Yet another Indie game hoping to get inside your Wii - Capucine

It would seem the Wii as become somewhat of a haven for indie developers that make big promises and then fade into obscurity...Anyways, with the surfacing of Pollen Sonata, and an actual gameplay video I suppose a new bar has been set. If you say your making a game, prove it. Simple right? Well, thats exactly what the French developers who created Capucine have done. They actually have a ton of media over at their site, check it out - keep in mind this is likely very early footage, but I still find it impressive. Graphics are decent, will undoubtedly be worked on, but I see a lot of potential. Hit up the site for the interesting plot and unique gameplay info!

Piqued interest: Pollen Sonata

4colourrebellion has opened my eyes to many things. Indie developers are one of them, in fact I think it's safe to say that these guys are all about Independents within multiple industries. Anyways, it IS a Nintendo fan site and so every now and then the worlds collide and an Indie developer is looking to develop for Wii or DS. Judging from the video I think the objective is to get the boy and girl together. You do this by controlling a pollen particle in what seems to be a Dewy's Adventure type gameplay style. A very intriguing video, great presentation, sentimental music, and seems pretty innovative in terms of story and gameplay (I think the wind is a variable here). Looking forward to it.
